Golden Gymnastics

Devoted to Excellence and Growth of all of our Students

October 2011

Thou Shall Not impose your ambitions on thy child.

Remember that gymnastics is your child's activity and he will progress at his own speed. It can never be a positive thing when a parent is forcing a child to do a sport that he does not want to do. The best part about gymnastics is that it does not matter whether you finish first or last, rather the wonderful lessons each boy will learn as he strives to do his best.

Many parents have inquired what their athlete can do at home to improve skill level. First of all, athletes should be cautioned about practicing gymnastics outside of the gym. Most gymnastics skills should only be practiced in a proper equipped facility on proper equipment with proper supervision.

Registration:

All team members must register annually with Golden Gymnastics by August 1st of every year. You must also complete an annual registration form. This fee is necessary to maintain your standing as a member of Golden Gymnastics.

Level 10 (Age groups 14-15, 16-18)

Level 10 is the highest level of competition for the USA Junior Olympic program. There are no difficulty restrictions, and competition is optional only. There will be local, regional and national competitions at this level for those who qualify.

Level 9 (Age groups 12-13)

Level 9 is an optional level also; there are no difficulty restrictions at this level. There will be local, state, regional and national competitions at this level for those who qualify.

All team members are automatically considered members of the Golden Gymnastics Boys Booster Club, and are responsible for obligations with that organization. All new members will be contacted by a booster club member.

Coaches will make all decisions on workouts and competitions. The coaches are most aware of an athlete's preparedness and will make all decisions as to when the athlete is ready to compete. Competition readiness is generally determined by work out success and routine experience.

Our Philosophy

Every child has the right to excel in their given talents. Our job is to assist our students in achieving their dream realistically, and to guide them to a better understanding of themselves and gymnastics. We expect our athletes to strive for excellence in all facets of their lives, and hope that gymnastics will continue to be a positive influence.
